System protection and control
The following figure shoes typical configuration connections required to utilize this filter in
conjunction with multi-purpose function as non-directional overcurrent protection.

Such overcurrent arrangement can be for example used to achieve the subsynchronous
resonance protection for turbo generators.

Setting example
A relay type used for generator subsynchronous resonance overcurrent protection shall be
replaced. The relay had inverse time operating characteristic as given with the following
formula:

S
The existing relay was applied on a large 50Hz turbo generator which had shaft mechanical
resonance frequency at 18.5Hz. The relay settings were T
and minimal subsynchronous current trip level was set at I
Solution:
First the IED configuration shall be arranged as shown in
HPAC filter and multipurpose function shall be derived from existing relay settings in the
following way:
The subsynchronous current frequency is calculated as follows:
